The #blacklivesmatter social movement is about equality to place it in the simplest terms. Why is one race experiencing so many unjust acts by the police? How long has the police behaved in this way prior to social media? Isn't the police's job to serve and protect? Aren't they supposed to arrest suspected criminals only? Why do they end up physically abusing and killing African-Americans, aka as Blacks, in the manner that has been brought to the public's attention recently. Regardless of the answer to these questions, enough is enough! It is time for a social movement to promote change.
I know there is one argument which raises the question: why do these individuals need to be arrested in the first place. How do we know if they really need to be charged for the reason they are arrested? We don't know until they have their day in court. So the activity that happens before they get to court is where a lot of the unjust acts are happening. The police are ending some of their lives before they get a "neutral" due process. Consequently, this leads to several questions: What is wrong with the police? Why are there such a high number of African-Americans targeted? Why in the past few months were there high-profiled deaths associated with these arrest. There is something so wrong with this system. We need an overhaul, and we need it now. Ultimately, we also need a social movement. I agree that African-Americans are treated in an inferior manner in society. I think Hispanics may also fall under the category of mistreatment. However, the recent events have clearly indicated that Blacks are treated horribly by police. We need it to stop, and it needs to stop immediately. Supporting this movement is imperative if society is to experience a change. If we remain divided, then we may continue to encounter the same bad habits. This is a good time to come together to support humanity. Once the ignorant people who don't support this movement are off this earth, the world will become a better place! Subsequently, here is a partial list of celebrities whose Instagram profiles are allegedly missing a clear and definitive posting to support the movement: #blacklivesmatter; a posting for the black out Tuesday; nor any other indication of support.* No alleged support from:

She earned two Bachelor degrees from University of Kansas. She is an Enterprise Account Executive for Apple in New York.  We recently reported on Seasons 1 through 6, therefore, the updates included in the individual seasons themselves are recent. If you are interested in learning more about each individual houseguest from this All Stars season, click on their name. By the way, Big Brother is based upon a Netherlands series with the same name. It's very interesting how we have developed reality tv shows by benchmarking other countries and vice-versa. When you have a chance, check out other series in other countries. Consequently, including past houseguests during this season, made it a very hot season to watch! It included the likes of Kaysar Ridha, Janelle Pierzina, Howie Gordon, Will Kirby, and Mike "Boogie" Malin to name a few. I have three all-time favorites from Big Brother history, and Janelle is one of them. If you haven't checked out this season, it is worth it! Mike "Boogie" Malin won this season. Unfortunately, Mike's reputation has taken a turn for the worst since the airing of the show. In 2007, he was allegedly arrested for allegedly assaulting a waitress at a sports bar in Denver. Tabloids have also indicated that there has been issues with alleged embezzling money and gambling away hundred of thousands of dollars and using it to pay for gay sex, travel and other stuff. As of 2018, it has been reported that he is allegedly in the hole for $800,000. Mike founded and operated The Dolce Group, a restaurant management group in Los Angeles. If you remember Season 2, he proposed to Krista Stegall, another houseguest. Their relationship didn't pan out. It is also reported that he has a son. In conclusion, this season premiered in July of 2006, which is fourteen years ago! The recent updates that we provided during the contestant's original season is updated as of late 2019 through 2020. During the writing of this article, our country is facing the COVID-19 history. This pandemic appears to impact the airing of Big Brother for July 2020. If it does not air this year, it's a good time to take a walk down memory lane and remember what has occurred on previous seasons of Big Brother. #cbsbigbrother #afforci
Once upon a time, there was a girl named Kendall Long, who for all intents and purposes, I viewed as one of the sweeter and innocent contestants on ABC's Bachelor. While she gave Joe Amabile an initial chase and tough time on Bachelor in Paradise, she eventually started a relationship with him. After Joe gained fame from performing on Dancing with the Stars, Kendall and Joe traveled around the world. Joe frequently posted videos while he enjoyed various cuisines around the world. Joe also started a business which sold upside down Frown apparel. The two eventually split, and Joe continues to make food related videos, and Kendall, well Kendall appears to be searching for her passion. While with Joe, Kendall Long dressed modestly and had a quiet disposition and persona. Recently, I noticed a change in that and commented on it using Instagram. Kendall replied to the message, and she showed her not-so-innocent side in not only the picture, but in her reply. I responded once more to her, and this time I included a generalized statement about showcasing the brain versus sex. Since that time, there has been more than 20 comments regarding the post. Check out what started this interaction. I've decided to not respond to any of the comments at this time, feel free to check them out on her Instagram page.
If you check Kendall Long's Instagram page, you can read the 21 comments that followed. Feel free to add comments to this page.
Married At First Sight Season 10 Update is a must read! This season featured five, yes five couples. It has a lot of drama, with only three weeks remaining to final decisions to stay marry or not. The drama ensued early in the season. Why can't married people just get along? (smile).
We will list our predictions soon. Write a comment below, follow us on Twitter or Facebook to find out our prediction. Indicate your prediction in the comments below and include your Twitter or Facebook username or email address to enter our prize drawing.
Austin Hurd and Jessica Studer.
Austin Hurd is a Network Engineer and Jessica Studer is a Registered Nurse. Jessica boasted on one of the episodes about her making "significantly" making more money than Austin. Honestly, is this an appropriate thing to say in any relationship?
Jessica has already admitted on camera to being in love with Austin. When they had a conversation about love, Austin stated that it takes time. Do you think they will stay together?
Brandon Reid and Taylor Dunklin.
Brandon Reid and Taylor Dunklin. Brandon is in his early 30's and Taylor is in her late 20's. They are an unbelievable couple! During the matchmaking season, I was so surprised they even paired these two.
Brandon is a Beer Sales Representative and Taylor is a Reasearcher/PhD student. Brandon is a rebel type who wears two earrings and has plenty of tattoos. I just didn't see them as a good match. During the filming, Brandon gave the producers and camera people a difficult time. He didn't want to be filmed. He actually used profanity towards Taylor at the end of their honeymoon. Taylor went as far as to post a disrespectful video that targeted Brandon as not being the man for her. This relationship was doomed from the start. Brandon ended things during one of their counseling session. However, for some reason they are back together. What will happen to their marriage?
Michael Watson and Meka Jones.
Michael Watson, a 31 year old Educational Program Director and Meka Jones, a 25 year old Category Analyst. This marriage is full of drama. In fact, on their honeymoon, Michael decided to rent another hotel room versus stay in the room with Meka. Meka is a straightforward strong-will female. I think it would be tough for any guy to deal with her on a day-to-day basis. She has called Michael a liar on almost every episode. What a great way to nurture a relationship. Kudos to Michael for sticking with her during the filming. How will they end up?
Zach Justice and Mindy Shiben.
Zach Justice is a model, and Mindy Shiben is a Figure Skating Coach. Both are in their early 30's. Mindy is a sweetheart. She tolerated so much from Zach, including him admitting to not being attracted towards her and also to not living with her.
He also had a secret friendship with one of her friends. She is always nice and pleasant towards him. She deserves someone who will treat her better. Will they stay together?
Derek Sherman and Katie Victoria Vazquez
Derek Sherman and Katie Victoria Vazquez. Derek is a 26 year old Cyber Security Engineer and Katie is a 26 year old Health Professional Child Therapist. Since Katie is a Therapist, I am surprised that she creates so many issues in her relationship.
Derek has many life goals, and Katie thinks he should narrow it down. Katie appears to try to wear her head on Derek's shoulder. This couple is working through their issues. Do you think they will make it?
Come back soon as we continue to update Married at First Sight Season 10.

There are times when you want to venture out of the U.S. reality tv scene and check out another country. We recommend that you check out Love Island UK. So far, we have finished Season 5. It was refreshing. It was nice to see how classy and mature young adults behave in the UK. This season aired in June 2019. Let us know what you think if you check it out on Hulu or other entertainment sources. Get ready as this Season is a lot longer than the American version!
Here is a summary of all the Islanders, however, we will only provide updates for the Islanders who appeared on Day 1 and Islanders who were finalists.
Callum Macleod (28), Sherif Lanre (20), Elma Pazar (26), Joe Garratt (22), Yewande Biala (23), Tom Walker (29), Arabella Chi (28), Stevie Bradley (21), Nabila Badda (29), Maria Wild (22), Lavena Back (23), Dennon Lewis (22), Dan Rose (21),Jourdan Riane (24), Danny Williams (21), Lucie Donlan (21), George Rains (22), Amy Hart (26), Marvin Brooks (29), Joanna Chimonides (22), Michael Griffiths (27), Francesca Allen (23), Harley Brash (20), Chris Taylor (28), Jordan Hames (24), Anna Vakili (29), Belle Hassan (21), Anton Danyluk (24), Maura Higgins (28), Curtis Pritchard (23), Ovie Soko (28), India Reynolds (28), Tommy Fury (20), Molly-Mae Hague (20), Greg O'Shea (24), and Amber Gill (21).
Amber Gill and Greg O'Shea.
Amber Gill from United Kingdom and Greg O'Shea from Ireland won this season of Love Island. Greg actually held the $50K envelope, and he did the right thing by sharing it with Amber, since she was the reason why he won.
This straight talking British girl entered on Day 1, and nice and laid-back Greg entered on Day 44. It was reported in September 2019 that they broke up. In an article, Greg stated the reason for the split is pure reality: the distance and busy engagements for Amber. They lasted for five weeks, so please give young love a little credit :). #loveislandUK
Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury
India Reynolds and Ovie Soko
India Reynolds and Ovie Soko finished in third place. They both were new arrivals and were paired together. They dated shortly after the show, but it didn't last.
Curtis Prichard and Maura Higgins.
Curtis Prichard was a delight to watch. He is extremely mature and wise for a 23 year old. He was coupled with Amy Hart for the longest time. Amy was somewhat insecure, but Curtis was always a gentleman towards her.
It wasn't until the guys were taken out of the house for an experience with a group of singles did Curtis decide that he wanted to explore other relationships. Amy was extremely hurt and she decided to leave the Island. Maura Higgins, while not included with the original arrivals, she was on the island for a long time. Maura isn't shy, and she tried to build relationships with multiple guys. Once Curtis became single, she approached Curtis and they began a relationship. They finished in fourth place. The are no longer dating.

Evan Smith. Kaci Campbell. Morgan Lolar.
Evan Smith and Kaci Campbell was the most interesting couple during the season. Kaci was 1,000 percent confident in her relationship with Evan. In fact, during a bonfire, she had a chance to watch a video that would given her evidence of Evan's behavior and status; however, she chose not to watch the video. As they say, ignorance is bliss. Would you want to find out details about your significant other's behavior that will help you make a decision regarding your relationship?
In the end, Evan chose one of the singles, Morgan Lolar. He proposed to her after the show. They lived in Virginia for most of their relationship, and they recently relocated to California. Unfortunately, during early 2020 their relationship ended because Evan allegedly cheated (as per Morgan's Instagram account). In this case, past behavior became a predictor of future behavior.
Karl Collins and Nicole Tutewohl
Karl Collins and Nicole Tutewohl from Chicago, also experienced the challenge of temptation. They were in a relationship for two years prior to joining the cast of Temptation Island. Nicole gained insight about herself, and their relationship. She decided that she wanted to venture out on her own during the finale episode. During the season, Karl had a single on the Island who showed him romantic interest, but he didn't pick her during the finale. He appeared disappointed with Nicole's decision.
Javen Butler and Shari Ligons
Javen Butler and Shari Ligons both remained dedicated to each other while on Temptation Island Season 1. They have been together since the age of 16. In fact, neither of them even opened up for an emotional attachment with the singles. At the end of the show, Javen proposed to Shari. They are still engaged today.
John Thurmond and Kady Krambeer.
John Thurmond and Kady Krambeer from Fort Worth, Texas, were also on Season 1 of Temptation Island. Kady had what a lot of women prefer, a man who is dedicated to them. However, Kady found fault with John, and decided to go her separate way. She dated one of the singles from the Island after the show for a short period.
